20 Signs You’ve Finally Found That One Great Love

1. Everything I do, I do it for you

You probably think about your great love all the time and somehow, everything you do is about them too, in a way.

When I met my future husband, my home was a mess but I bought new furniture, which included a big bed for us, so I basically changed my home to be better suited for him staying over.

And he said that when he has a bad day at work, he reminds himself to work for me, and it suddenly becomes easier to him.

2. You can’t stand being apart

When one of you is away, it hurts the other.

It’s not just about missing the person a whole lot when they are away for a week because you miss them the moment they walk out of the room.

Even when they are going to go to the grocery store… you hug them like you are going to be separated forever, and you can’t stand it.

Somehow your life feels empty when that one person isn’t there to make it filled with great love. That is how true love works.

3. You shop for two

You are no longer capable of buying something just for yourself.

This is because your one great love is always on your mind, so you buy something for the person you love as well.

It seems that you can recognize great love by buying men underwear when you go to buy yourself a bra.

Your great love is always on your mind so naturally, when you go out shopping, you will notice things that your special someone would like to have and you can’t resist the urge to buy it for them just to see the smile on their face when they see it.

4. You spend money on them

Of course, since you are constantly reminded of them when you are shopping, you will spend money on them.

You will buy them anything that you think could cause a smile on your partner’s face.

You will pay for dinner or surprise them with a present that shows how much they mean to you.

When we first started dating, my one great love would take me to dinner constantly and he would always surprise me by buying me something that I needed.

After a month of dating, my future husband bought us two silver necklaces, each with half of a heart and our names engraved on them, which is a great idea for a gift!

5. You send them funny pictures

When a photo makes you laugh, you send it them because when they are laughing too, everything becomes funnier.

After all, all you wish is for them to smile, and that’s just how great love works.

Love stories are always full of laughter and happiness and once you start thinking, “This would make my honey laugh,” as soon as you see something funny… and even before you laugh at it yourself… you know you have found great love.

6. Their smile is precious to you

There is nothing more adorable than your loved one’s smile, and you will do anything to be the reason for it.

The sound of your loved one laughing is the best sound in the world to you and being the source of someone’s happiness is the best thing there is.

8. Every day together is special

Special events and important dates are no longer the only days that are special and this is because every day that you spend with your one great love is special to you both.

You simply enjoy spending time together that much and there is such magic going on between you, so every time you see each other is precious to you both.

You no longer need special occasions to look forward to because every date night is like a special occasion. And that’s how it goes with great love stories…

9. You understand the meaning of love

The words ‘love’ and ‘right’ now mean something more to you than before because you experience them every day in your life…

When you wake up next to someone you love the most… or when you sit across from them in a restaurant and discuss what you have been up to, you will know what great love is and you will get to truly understand what it means and does to you.

You will grow so much and your partner will be your inspiration to aim to be the best version of yourself.

10. You understand corny statements

Before, you couldn’t understand the corny and dramatic statements people would make when they fell in love… but now you catch yourself saying them.

“I can’t live without you,” “I would do anything for you,” “I would kill and die for you”…

These are just some of the statements that you couldn’t understand before… but now catch yourself saying, and really know they’re true and from the heart.

The only thing that has changed is that you have found someone you feel so strongly about.

11. You feel a cosmic connection between you

Maybe you feel such a cosmic connection with your loved one that you even think that you’re psychic.

Now you are aware of the energy and presence of your loved one all the time, even when they aren’t there.

It seems like you have found your soulmate and like the universe has conspired to keep you together.

Your relationship seems kind of magical when you think about it….

You even sometimes pick up on some vibe about how your loved one is doing and you call to check in, just to see that your sixth sense is actually exactly correct.

You have started to experience the world through your partner and not just yourself; it’s the universe telling you that you have found your one great love.

12. Nothing can get you down

There are always some small mishaps in life and even though these things used to drive you crazy, they aren’t as bad now.

Nothing can get you down, and the small mishaps in life don’t bother you like they used to.

This is because, by finding great love, you have also found inner peace and happiness and it makes you immune to anything that gets in your way of success.

13. Everything is easier

They are your great love, your biggest support, your strength, and your motivation.

You are ready for anything now that you have your loved one beside you at all times.

16. The things you say are cheesy

You find yourself saying cheesy things that you never thought would come out of your mouth but you are being honest and talking from your own amazing life experience, where you were lucky enough to find the love of your life.

You probably never thought that you would be using pet names either, did you?

Nothing can get in your way of living the life you have always dreamed of and sharing it with the person who made it that magical.

19. You will do anything to stay together

The two of you are determined to stay together forever… and there is nothing you wouldn’t do to ensure that that happens.
